If a particular segment of the Eve population feels it is not adequately represented, it is incumbent upon them to endeavor to find and elect a candidate. Merely complaining after the fact that they are not represented is insufficient.
There are literally tens of thousands of players tooling around in hisec; far more than in all the other areas combined. They could easily take a majority of the CSM seats. But because they are uninterested in the larger game world and mostly (imo) prefer not to interact for whatever reasons, they do not.
I disagree with the idea that PvE and PvP are different things. They are in essence the same. The difference is that PvE can be conducted without any interaction with other players. PvP cannot.
Eve is not a PvE game. Your boat can be violenced anywhere. If you act foolishly and do not take precautions, do not complain when someone takes notice and pops your shiny mission ship or steals your loot, or whatever. This interaction is at the core of Eve, and at the core of all Massively Multiplayer Online games.
Another core concept of Eve is risk versus reward. If you sit in safer areas of space (safer relative to lo/nul-sec) you will not get the higher reward content. Its the same in every game everywhere. Lower security areas give lower level rewards/experience. Complaining that you're not getting A-Type Invulnerability Field drops in hisec has nothing to do with the game; only with the individual's sense of self-entitlement because "they paid for content."
If you want the high level rewards, you have to go to high level areas. In this game, that means either you go to nulsec or w-space and get the stuff yourself, or you save up and buy it from nulsec players on the market.
The self-entitled nonsense that some players spout is what drives a certain segment of the PvP player base to come up to hisec and do things like Hulkageddon, ice interdictions, and industrial cartels. The fact that those same players cry about it on forums rather than doing something about it in game is just icing on the cake. That and the isk it generates for them.
Here is the best advice anyone that plays Eve Online will ever give you:
If you don't like it, do something about it.
